5 UNMISSABLE PLACES TO VISIT IN TUSCANY, ITALY

We rented an apartment in the small town of Massarosa. There were only 2 other English speaking (as a second language)  people but the experience is something we’ll never forget. 

We’d like to share our 5 favourite neighbouring areas in Tuscany. 

Florence

My personal favorite, Florence, is a beautiful city full of history, architecture, art and food. After visiting one or all of the world famous galleries like the Uffizi or the Accademia Gallery to view Michelangelo’s David treat yourself to a steak Florentine. 

Lucca

Lucca was the capital of Tuscany and was fortified with huge walls that you can now walk or cycle around for a great view of the town and the surrounding hills. I recommend this walking tour of Lucca.  

Chianti / Siena

If you are lucky enough to have a car on your trip you could not have a more romantic and beautiful drive than through the rolling vineyards of Chianti.

Apuan Alp

Highway 13 from Castelnuovo through the alps to Massa on the other side is the most spectacular piece of dangerous road I have ever driven. 

Viareggio

If spending a day driving is not your thing maybe a day at the beach is more your style. Viareggio  has some of the most interesting beaches we have encountered.
